. n Important una Interesting
Meeting Held Yesterday.
The annual meeting of the Los An
geles County Nurserymen's Associa-
ton was held at the office of the Presi-
dent T. A. Carey, lis West First
street, Los Angeles, August 5th, and
elected the following officers for the
ensuing year Thos. A. Carey, presi-
dent; A. M. Herbert, vice-president (;
Byron o. Clark, Secretary; Milton
Thomas, treasurer. The Executive
Committee of last year was re-
elected.
The secretary was instructed to
have a report of all the nursery stock
on hand at the next meeting, to be
held at Hazards Pavilion during the
Pathological Fair week, September
18th at ii A. NJ.
On motion the following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolved, That it is the unanimous
experience of the members of this AS
sociation here present, that irrigation,
with few exceptions, is not necessary
for profitable growing of the
deciduous fruits on any of our first
class fruit lands of this county.
Resolved, That We view with alarm
the inroads of town lot speculations on
the many fine orchards of this county,
which has caused many of our best
orchards to become wild patches and
hot-beds for the dissemination of
scale and other pests, and would urge
upon those who subdivide property to
provide for the cultivation and care of
such property until such time as it
may be occupied by the owners, and
thus prevent the evil that threatens
our fruit industry. And We would
especially urge all true pomologists
and horticulturists not to "kill the
goose that lays the golden egg," but
take good care of their orchards, as
any Of our best orchards are worth,
intrinsically, more than the price
which they are often sold for, and We
only need to conduct our calling on
true business principles to prove them
more profitable to own than to sell.

Bagley brothers are having big trade

stand that the saloon over the line will
suspend business until another season,
which looks little more favorable.
The people of our town are over
joyed about the latest railroad news.
Wyalusing will have q station. The
engineer of this division was here last
Friday and surveyed for side-track.

Reynolds has enabled the committee tt
complete the work. The monument
consists of semi-collossal statue il
bronze, the right hand, holding field
glass, hangs at his side, the left grasp:
the top of the hilt of his sword. The
face is turned toward the field where he
fell. The statue stands on pedestal
of dark Quincy granite about ten feet
high, which weighs twenty-three tons.
The entire cost is about S13500 This
cemetery contains remains of thirty
four hundred and eighty Union soldiers
each marked with headstone. The
graves are arranged in a semi-circle
around the National Monument, which
stands on the spot where, on the 10th
day of November 1868, President Lin
coin delivered his immortal speech.
The grounds embrace rs acres, the
highest point of which overlo6ks nearly
the entire battlefield.
The monument is sixty feet in highth
and twenty-five square at the base.
The pedestal is made of white marble
and is crowned with colossal marble
statue representing the genius of Lib
erty, standing on three-quarter globe.
She holds in her right hand the victor's
wreath of laurels, while with her left
she clasps the victorious sword. Pro-
jecting from the angles of the pedestal
are four buttresses supporting statutes
representing war, history, peace and
plenty. The monument costs about $50.
600; the ground, removal and reinterr-
ing of the dead, headstones, enclosure
ornamentation of the ground etc., cost
about $4,000. Each state having dead
on the field contri buted according to
its population, Wisconsin's gift was
$5,O46 sc.

school has had the success it has, but
his assistants Miss Mabel Seaton and
Nellie Kinnie have done good and
effective work.
The hour set for opening the COM

church at z, and before 1880 the seats
were filled and standing room scarce.
The church was neatly decorated with
flowers and evergreens. The motto:
"Step by STEP" worked in evergreens
hung gracefully on the wall.
The exercises began with a chorus
by the school, ''Land of Liberty" after
which Rev. Mr.. Corey made the invo-
